McCook woman elected to Nebraska Community Foundation board of directors
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska Community Foundation is pleased to welcome Cindy Huff of McCook as a new member to the NCF board of directors. Huff was elected to the NCF board on November 15, 2019.
Huff is a retired school superintendent after 32 years of service to public schools in central and southwest Nebraska. Huff’s career included positions as a teacher, coach, principal, and superintendent. She continues her connection to public education through her affiliation with the Nebraska Rural Community Schools Association as an educational consultant, conducting superintendent searches and Board of Education development opportunities.
Huff earned a B.S, M.S., and Specialist degrees from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
Always leading with her heart, Huff was committed to her students by living her motto: Leadership first, management second. Today she enjoys continued interaction with public schools and the communities where she worked and still refers to each as home.
In addition to her service on the board of Nebraska Community Foundation, Huff will continue to serve as volunteer chair of NCF’s affiliated fund, the McCook Community Foundation Fund. With more than $3.7 million in endowed assets, McCook Community Foundation Fund plays a major role in making quality-of-life investments that are attracting young families to southwest Nebraska.
Cindy Huff and her husband, Tom, have six children, eight grandchildren, and four dogs. Huff says she continues the hunt for that ever-elusive master angler walleye and enjoys exploring the world through the eyes of her grandchildren.
Also recently elected to the NCF board of directors is John Miyoshi of Wahoo, Nebraska, a retired general manager of the Lower Platte North Natural Resources District.
